ANOTHER WORLD 82

Donna tells Nicole of her future plans

hotel

ALLEN OPENS THE DOOR

Allen: Marley! What a nice surprise. Come in. I was just going to get some ice.

Marley (walking in, looking around): Going on a trip?

Allen: No…

Marley: Then why are you packing? Are you leaving the hotel?

Allen: Grandfather stopped paying for it.

Marley: What? How could he do something like that? Where are you going to go?

Allen: I’ll find somewhere.

Marley: No. I’m not gonna let any member of my family be homeless. You can stay with Tyrone and me.

Allen: You probably should run that by Tyrone first.

Marley: I don’t see it being a problem. You’re his brother.

Allen: Marley you’re so sweet for offering, but I can’t take it.

Hospital

Donna sits next to Nicole as she’s getting her chemotherapy I.V. drip.

Donna: I can’t believe what Reginald did to Allen. He’s completely turning his back on him.

Nicole: It’s all my fault.

Donna: Listen to me. Don’t you dare blame yourself for what Reginald is doing.

Nicole: I was irresponsible. I had a child when I was sixteen.

Donna: That didn’t give Reginald the right to take Allen away from you, or to take Victoria away from me.

Nicole: I should have been more responsible.

Donna: You have a wonderful son, and we will try get him out of any mess that Reginald has gotten him into.

Nicole: Daddy was keeping me locked up at Pinehaven to make Allen do what he did.

Donna: Reginald has made our lives miserable long enough, and it’s time for him to pay.

-Bay City Center

Gregory and Lindsay are walking arm in arm to a table.

Lindsay (sitting down): You’ve made so much progress. You’ll probably won’t need that cane soon.

Gregory (sitting down): I owe it to you. You helped me recover.

Gregory flashes back to when he saw Lindsay puts a small cup that Jake drank water out of, into a clear bag.

Gregory: I can’t deny the good that you’ve done for me Lindsay.

They kiss.

Gregory: I really really like you, and I don’t want you to be afraid to tell me anything. You don’t have to keep things from me.

Lindsay gives a half smile knowing that she’s keeping her reason for being in Bay City from Gregory.

Hotel

Marley: Why not?

Allen: It’s just not a good idea.

Marley: I’m sure he’ll agree. You’re his family.

Allen: We…really didn’t get along growing up.

Marley: What siblings get along all the time? It shouldn’t even matter now. You’re in need and your family should help you.

Allen: Marley just drop it. I don’t want to live with you and Tyrone.

Marley: Where else are you going to go?

Allen: I’ll figure it out.

Marley: Listen to me…you’re not alone. I’m gonna talk to Tyrone okay. I’m certain he’ll agree.

Hospital

Nicole: He offered to pay for my living quarters but I refused.

Donna: I wouldn’t take anything that came from dad.

Nicole: I was going to stay with Allen, but Reginald stopped paying for his hotel room.

Donna: You could come to the mansion and stay with me.

Nicole: Thanks sis, but I’m going to be staying with Cass.

Donna: Is that a good idea?

Nicole: Cass offered, I didn’t even ask him, and I’m very happy about that.

Donna: If it helps you to beat this thing then, I’m all for it.

Donna answers her cell phone.

Donna: Hello? (beat) Hi Cass.

Nicole perks up a bit.

Donna: Okay I’ll…I’ll meet you at the mansion.

Donna hangs up smiling.

Nicole: That was Cass.

Donna: Yes…he says a company is willing to make an investment.

Nicole: Into what?

Donna: I didn’t want to say anything until I was sure, but I’m thinking about re-opening the Harbor Club.

Bay City Center

Lindsay (putting her hand on Gregory’s): I like you, too…very much.

Gregory: And I want us to be something.

Lindsay: Me, too. Besides my uncle Cass, and my cousin Charlie, you’ve been good to me since I came to town.

Gregory: You’re a nice girl, so it’s easy.

Lindsay: And the more time I spend with you, the more I trust you.

Gregory: Is something bothering you? Maybe I can help.

Lindsay (nervously): There is…something I have to tell you.

Before Lindsay can say anything…Stacey appears…

Stacey: Lindsay.

Lindsay (shocked): Mom.

Stacey: We have to talk.
